Why I call myself God's own child?

I strongly believe that everyone is blessed with the same capabilities and capacity. However, only a few utilize them effectively to achieve their goals.

I am fascinated by a story I read two decades ago. It goes like this.

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned Lord. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me?"

The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child. I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, IT WAS THEN THAT I CARRIED YOU and WHAT YOU SEE IS MY FOOTPRINTS."

I have several examples in my own life of this experience, which made me believe that whenever I was in trouble, someone helped me to overcome them, that super natural power is nothing but Lord. It is not once or twice, I have experienced this several times in my life and hence I strongly believe that whatever I am today and whatever achievements I have today is all due to his blessings and hence call myself "God's Own Child" who need not worry about anything in the world, since afterall, I am God's own child and he will take care whenever I am in trouble.
